Scarred (Bullied, #5)

Review: Scarred - Book #5 Bullied Series - Vera Hollins - August 2021

This particular book I have been waiting for months and I was so excited when it finally arrived on my kindle to read. If there is one bullymance series that I would recommend, it would be Vera Hollins - Bullied Series. Scarred is Book #5 and this one features our two snarkiest characters - I have always loved the hate banter between these two main characters Mason and Melissa. This is also the last of the friendships and I assume will be our final book. This one would have to be the most angsty one out of the series as both Mason and Melissa have a lot of rages and they cover up their emotions with anger and barbs. For Melissa, her parents don't speak and her brother Steven has turned into a serious drug addict and lost interest in the world - which we later see breaks Melissa's heart and we have an OMFG moment during the story. When Melissa's anger gets her in hot water at school, she is given the choice to sign up to a mentoring program or have the suspension on her permanent record which could hinder her college applications. Her buddy she is given is a quadriplegic boy called Eli who we later learn happens to be none other than Mason's little brother. I did like that the author Vera didn't make Mason and Melissa buddy-buddy so quickly and overnight which made the story more believable as the hate could be seen rising from the pages until about half to 3/4 the way through when a slight ray of sunshine starts to peek through for Mason and Melissa.  I still have to admit Book #4 Trapped by Vera Hollins was my favorite of the series, but Book #5 Scarred is a close second.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
